Definitions

the invention relates to a hood for vehicles, in particular passenger cars, according to the preamble of claim 1.
the object of the invention is to take such precautions on a convertible top that the inflation effect when the convertible top is closed is avoided with reduced noise pollution in the passenger compartment. In addition, effective heat and cold protection should be achieved.
Fig. 1 shows a passenger car 1, the structure 2 above a belt line 3 comprises a convertible top 4, which extends in the closed position A between a windshield frame 5 and a rear area 6.
the convertible top 4 In the closed position A, the convertible top 4 is held in position on the windshield frame 5 by closures (not shown). After loosening the fasteners, the top 4 can be folded back into a rear storage space, not shown.
the top 4 which is preferably designed as a folding top, is composed of a top frame 7 and an outer top cover 8, which is provided adjacent to the rear area 6 with a flexible or rigid visor 9.
a convertible top frame 7 comprises a front convertible top frame 10, a rear convertible top frame 11, a parallelogram linkage 12 acting on the rear convertible top frame 11, and bows 13, 14, 15, 16 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle , whereas the bow 14 is assigned to the rear roof frame 11.
the fixed bow 15 forms an upper part of a main roof pillar 17 and the pivotable bow 16 is rotatably articulated on the main roof pillar 17 and extends above the viewing window 9.
the convertible top 4 is provided on the side facing a passenger compartment 18 with a headlining 19 and a sound and heat-insulating intermediate layer 20 which is arranged between the headlining 19 and the convertible top cover 8.
the through a non-woven fabric made of polyester fiber, rubber hair fabric or the like formed intermediate layer 20 extends between an upper and a lower carrier web 21 and 22 and is glued to both carrier webs 21, 22.
the intermediate layer 20 has the effect that temperature compensation takes place in the passenger compartment 18, ie that it does not become too warm in summer and not too cool in winter. Furthermore, the noise occurring outside the vehicle is effectively attenuated and transmitted into the passenger compartment 18 through the intermediate layer.
the outer convertible top cover 8 In order to prevent the outer convertible top cover 8 from inflating, the outer convertible top cover 8, the inner roof lining 19 and the two carrier webs 21, 22 of the intermediate layer 20 are fastened to all transverse bars 13, 14, 15, 16. The attachment takes place continuously, namely over a substantial part of the width of the bow 13, 14, 15, 16. Only at the laterally outer upright sections of the bow 13, 14, 15, 16 does the convertible top cover 8 lie loosely on the outside.
the intermediate layer 20 adjusts its shape in the area of the bow 13, 14, 15, 16 and runs to zero in the area of the fastening of the carrier webs 21, 22 and the convertible top cover 8. In the area of the bow 13, 14, 15, 16, the intermediate layer 20 is adapted to the shape of the bow 13, 14, 15, 16.
the outer cover 8, the two locally adjacent carrier webs 21, 22 and an inner holding strip 23 are sewn or welded together above the bow 13, 14, 15, 16. The inner holding strip 23 is guided around the bow 13, 14, 15, 16 and glued or screwed to it.
Tension strips 24 are locally sewn, glued or welded onto the headlining 19, which are bent upwards towards the bow 13, 14, 15, 16 and by means of a shell-shaped element 25 and a fastening screw 26 or a rivet on the bow 13, 14, 15, 16 are fixed.
the cup-shaped elements 25 are - seen in cross section - bent approximately in a quarter circle.
the pull strip 24 can be omitted, since the headlining 8 is guided directly in sections around the bow 16 and is fixed by means of the shell-shaped element 25 and the fastening screw 28 (FIG. 7).
inflatable air cushions 27 are arranged at least in sections can be controlled pneumatically or electrically.
the air cushions 27 are, for example, automatically inflated when the convertible top 4 is locked on the windshield frame 5 and are evacuated again when unlocking.
inflating or evacuating the air cushions 27 connected to a pump by means of an actuation switch.
the storage space for accommodating the convertible top 4 can have a lower overall height than if the air cushions 27 are constantly inflated.
the air cushions 27 are preferably arranged above and to the side of this viewing window 9.
the air cushions 27 extend over the entire longitudinal and transverse extent of the convertible top 4.
Each air cushion 27 consists of two parts 28, 29 which are connected to one another in an airtight manner at the edge (FIG. 3).
the air cushions 27 are located directly under the outer roof cover 8 or under the intermediate layer 20. Below the air cushions 27 there is a narrow tension belt 30 on which the air cushion 27 rests.
the tension belt 30 extends according to FIG. 2 over the entire length of the convertible top 4 and is firmly connected to the individual hoops 13, 14, 15, 16.
a two-part holding loop 31 is provided, which is connected to the air cushion 27 and engages under the tension belt 30.
the two parts 32, 33 of the holding loop 31 are connected to one another via a Velcro fastener 34, so that a simple exchange of the air cushions 27 is ensured.
the Velcro fastener 34 consists of a Velcro tape 35 and a Velcro tape 36, the Velcro tape 35 being attached to one part (e.g. 32) and the Velcro tape 36 to the other part (e.g. 33) of the holding loop 31.
a zipper or another quick fastener can also be used.
